5 Mojzes 2

1 Potem smo se obrnili in šli na svoje potovanje v divjino, ob poti Rdečega morja, kakor mi je Gospod govoril in mnogo dni smo obkrožali gorovje Seír.

“And setting out from there, we arrived at the wilderness which leads to the Red Sea, just as the Lord had spoken to me. And we encompassed Mount Seir for a long time.

2 In Gospod mi je spregovoril, rekoč:

And the Lord said to me:

3 ›Dovolj dolgo ste obkrožali to goro, obrnite se proti severu.

‘You have encompassed this mountain for long enough. Go forth, toward the north.

4 Zapovej ljudstvu, rekoč: ›Šli boste skozi pokrajino svojih bratov, Ezavovih otrok, ki prebivajo v Seírju in oni se vas bodo bali, zato dobro pazite nase.

And instruct the people, saying: You shall cross through the borders of your brothers, the sons of Esau, who live at Seir, and they will fear you.

5 Ne vmešavajte se vanje, kajti ne bom vam dal od njihove dežele, ne, niti za širino stopala ne, ker sem gorovje Seír izročil Ezavu za posest.

Therefore, take care diligently, lest you be moved against them. For I will not give to you from their land even as much as the step that one foot can tread upon, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.

6 Od njih boste hrano kupovali za denar, da boste lahko jedli in od njih boste tudi vodo kupovali za denar, da boste lahko pili.

You shall buy food from them for money, and you shall eat. You shall draw water for money, and you shall drink.

7 Kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, te je blagoslovil pri vseh delih tvoje roke. Pozna tvojo hojo skozi to veliko divjino. Teh štirideset let je bil Gospod, tvoj Bog, s teboj; nikakršnega pomanjkanja nisi trpel.‹‹

The Lord your God has blessed you in every work of your hands. The Lord your God, dwelling with you, knows your journey, how you crossed through this great wilderness over forty years, and how you have been lacking in nothing.’

8 Ko smo šli mimo svojih bratov, Ezavovih otrok, ki so prebivali v Seírju, skozi pot ravnine od Eláta in od Ecjón Geberja, smo se obrnili in prešli po poti moábske divjine.

And when we had passed through our brothers, the sons of Esau, who were living at Seir by the way of the plain from Elath and from Eziongeber, we arrived at the way which leads to the desert of Moab.

9 Gospod mi je rekel: ›Moábcev ne spravi v tegobo niti se z njimi ne spoprimi v boju, kajti njihove dežele ti ne bom dal v last, ker sem Ar dal Lotovim otrokom za posest.‹

And the Lord said to me: ‘You should not fight against the Moabites, nor should you go to battle against them. For I will not give to you anything from their land, because I have given Ar to the sons of Lot as a possession.’

10 Emejci so v njej prebivali v preteklih časih, veliko, številno in visoko ljudstvo, kakor Anákovci,

The Emim were the first of its inhabitants, a people great and strong, and of such great height, like the race of the Anakim.

11 ki so bili tudi prišteti med velikane, kakor Anákovci, toda Moábci so jih imenovali Emejci.

They were considered to be like giants, and they were like the sons of the Anakim. And, indeed, the Moabites call them: the Emim.

12 Tudi Horéjci so poprej prebivali v Seírju, toda Ezavovi otroci so jih pregnali, ko so jih uničili pred seboj in prebivali namesto njih, kakor je Izrael storil v deželi njihove posesti, ki jim jo je dal Gospod.

The Horites also formerly lived at Seir. When these had been driven out and destroyed, the sons of Esau lived there, just as Israel did in the land of his possession, which the Lord gave to him.

13 ›Sedaj se vzdignite, ‹ sem rekel ›in se odpravite čez potok Zered.‹ In šli smo preko potoka Zered.

Then, rising up so as to cross over the torrent Zered, we arrived at the place.

14 Časa, v katerem smo prišli iz Kadeš Barnée, dokler nismo prešli preko potoka Zered, je bilo osemintrideset let, dokler ni pomrl ves rod bojevnikov izmed vojske, kakor jim je prisegel Gospod.

Then, from the time that we advanced from Kadesh-barnea until we crossed over the torrent Zered, there were thirty-eight years, until the entire generation of the men who were fit for war had been consumed out of the camp, just as the Lord had sworn.

15 Kajti zares je bila Gospodova roka zoper njih, da jih uniči izmed vojske, dokler niso bili použiti.

For his hand was against them, so that they would pass away from the midst of the camp.

16 Tako se je pripetilo, ko so bili vsi bojevniki izmed ljudstva použiti in mrtvi,

Then, after all the fighting men had fallen,

17 da mi je Gospod spregovoril, rekoč:

the Lord spoke to me, saying:

18 ›Danes boš prešel skozi Ar, moábsko pokrajino

‘Today, you shall cross the borders of Moab, at the city named Ar.

19 in ko prideš blizu, nasproti Amónovih otrok, jih ne spravi v tegobo niti se ne vmešavaj vanje, kajti od dežele Amónovih otrok ti ne bom dal nobene posesti, ker sem jo dal Lotovim otrokom za posest.‹

And when you have arrived in the vicinity of the sons of Ammon, be careful that you do not fight against them, nor should you be moved to battle. For I will not give to you from the land of the sons of Ammon, because I have given it to the sons of Lot as a possession.’

20 (Tudi ta je bila šteta [za] deželo velikanov. Tam so v starih časih prebivali velikani. Amónci so jih imenovali Zamzuméjce,

It was reputed to be a land of giants. And giants lived there in times past, those whom the Ammonites call the Zamzummim.

21 veliko, številno in visoko ljudstvo, kakor Anákovci. Toda Gospod jih je uničil pred njimi in oni so jih nasledili in prebivali namesto njih,

They are a people, great and numerous, and of lofty stature, like the Anakim, whom the Lord wiped away before their face. And he caused them to live there in place of them,

22 kakor je storil Ezavovim otrokom, ki so prebivali v Seírju, ko je pred njimi uničil Horéjce. Le-ti so jih nasledili in celo do tega dne prebivali namesto njih.

just as he had done for the sons of Esau, who live at Seir, wiping out the Horites and delivering their land to them, which they possess even to the present time.

23 Avéjce, ki so prebivali v Haserimu, celó do Gaze, so Kaftorejci, ki so izšli iz Kaftorja, uničili in prebivali namesto njih.)

Likewise the Hevites, who were living in small villages as far as Gaza, were expelled by the Cappadocians, who went forth from Cappadocia, and they wiped them out and lived in their place.

24 ›Dvignite se, pojdite na potovanje in prečkajte reko Arnón. Glej, v tvojo roko sem izročil Amoréjca Sihóna, kralja v Hešbónu in njegovo deželo. Začnite jo jemati v last in se z njim spoprimite v bitki.

‘Rise up and cross the torrent Arnon! Behold, I have delivered Sihon, the king of Heshbon, the Amorite, into your hand, and so, begin to possess his land and to engage in battle against him.

25 Danes bom začel pred teboj spuščati grozo in strah nad narode, ki so pod celotnim nebom, ki bodo slišali poročilo o tebi in bodo trepetali in bodo zaradi tebe v tesnobi.‹

Today I will begin to send the terror and dread of you among the peoples who are living under all of heaven, so that, when they hear your name, they may be afraid, and may tremble in the manner of a woman giving birth, and may be gripped by anguish.’

26 In odposlal sem poslance iz divjine Kedemót k Sihónu, kralju v Hešbónu, z besedami miru, rekoč:

Therefore, I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon, the king of Heshbon, with peaceful words, saying:

27 ›Naj grem skozi tvojo deželo. Šel bom vzdolž visoke poti, ne bom se obrnil niti k desni roki niti k levi.

‘We will cross through your land. We will advance by the public way. We will not turn aside, neither to the right, nor to the left.

28 Hrano mi boš prodajal za denar, da bom lahko jedel in vodo mi [boš] dajal za denar, da bom lahko pil, samo na svojih stopalih bom šel skozi

Sell us food for a price, so that we may eat. Provide us with water for money, and so we will drink. We only ask that you allow us to pass through,

29 (kakor so mi storili Ezavovi otroci, ki prebivajo v Seírju in Moábci, ki prebivajo v Aru), dokler ne bom šel čez Jordan v deželo, ki nam jo daje Gospod, naš Bog.‹

just as the sons of Esau have done, who live at Seir, and the Moabites, who abide in Ar, until we arrive at the Jordan, and we cross to the land which the Lord our God will give to us.’

30 Toda Sihón, kralj v Hešbónu, nam ni dovolil iti mimo njega, kajti Gospod, tvoj Bog, je zakrknil njegovega duha in njegovo srce naredil trdovratno, da bi ga lahko izročil v tvojo roko, kakor se kaže ta dan.

And Sihon, the king of Heshbon, was not willing to grant passage to us. For the Lord your God had hardened his spirit, and had fastened his heart, so that he would be delivered into your hands, just as you now see.

31 Gospod mi je rekel: ›Glej, pred teboj sem ti začel dajati Sihóna in njegovo deželo. Začni jo jemati v last, da boš lahko podedoval njegovo deželo.‹

And the Lord said to me: ‘Behold, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his land to you. Begin to possess it.’

32 Potem je zoper nas prišel ven Sihón, on in njegovo ljudstvo, da se borijo pri Jahacu.

And Sihon went out to meet us with all his people, to battle at Jahaz.

33 Gospod, naš Bog, ga je pred nami izročil in udarili smo njega, njegove sinove in vse njegovo ljudstvo.

And the Lord our God delivered him to us. And we struck him down, with his sons and all his people.

34 Ob tistem času smo zavzeli vsa njegova mesta in popolnoma uničili moške, ženske in malčke iz vsakega mesta. Nobenega nismo pustili ostati.

And we seized all his cities at that time, putting to death their inhabitants: men as well as women and children. We left nothing of them,

35 Samo živino smo si vzeli za plen in ukradeno blago mest, ki smo jih zavzeli.

except the cattle, which went to the share of those who plundered them. And we seized the spoils of the cities,

36 Od Aroêrja, ki je pri bregu reke Arnón in od mesta, ki je pri reki, celo do Gileáda, tam ni bilo niti enega mesta premočnega za nas. Gospod, naš Bog, jih je vsa izročil nam.

from Aroer, which is above the bank of the torrent Arnon, a town which is situated in a valley, all the way to Gilead. There was not a village or city which escaped from our hands. The Lord our God delivered everything to us,

37 Samo v deželo Amónovih otrok nisi prišel niti v noben kraj reke Jabók niti v gorska mesta niti v katerakoli, ki nam jih je Gospod, naš Bog, prepovedal.

except the land of the sons of Ammon, which we did not approach, and all that is adjacent to the torrent Jabbok, and the cities in the mountains, and all the places which the Lord our God prohibited to us.”
